THE REASON DISCOVERED.
Why Senator Vance is Not in Accord
With President Cleveland.

The Goldsboro Argus has at last discov-
cred the reason why Senator Vance is not
II harmony with President Cleveland The
Argus says:
The Argus has at last discovered why
Senator Vance is not in entire harmony
with the Administration. The thing has
been worrying Us for some time and we
had vainly sought for deep political rea-
sons sufficient to explain it. We then
considered whether it were possible that
our greatest of Senators could have had
any misunderstanding with our great
President about any small office. We
we've compelled to drop this; because Vance
is too great to fret over little things We
then gave it up and settled down into
dark and deep despair over the matter
In a lucky moment one of our printers
dropped in and asked us the name of the
Senator's place in Buncombe. We had
seen the word thousand times, but we
had never given it bfOre local habitation

A CORRECTION.

In the last issue of the CHRONICLE the
following appeared:
The judiciary of North Carolina Can't
be Exhausted.
In one Of the Western counties, some
weeks ago, when Judge James &. MacRae
came in to open court, he began charging
the grand jury by telling them that he was
very sleepy He had not been able to sleep
any the previous night, because, In the
room adjoining his own, gambling was
carried on all night. He heard them him
self. and he heard the bets made, the chips
rafting and the money changing hands.
1.-The worst of it was, gentlemen, of the
Jury" said Judge MacRae, ian officer OF
this court (pointing to the solicitor), was
one of the participants You will, there
fore bring in presentment against him
for gambling This the grand jury did,
and the Judge ordered the Solicitor to
draw a bill against himself for gambling,
which the astonished Solicitor proceeded
TO do.
The Facts show that the Above is Not
True.
Under date of July 1st, Judge Jas. 9.
MacRae writes US:

at an article in your paper OF yesterday

Make the Politicians Shut Up.
From Springfield Republican Qnd j

An occasion like the reception of Con-
federate veterans in Boston on Bunker
Hill day, with its striking interchange of
friendly feeling and patriotic sentiment,
puts to shame the paltry practices of poll
ticians, now thrust upon our attention on
every hand in anticipation of the presi-
Dental campaign of next year. 1--WE
are ready to grasp hands," said John
Goode, with the men of Massachusetts,
in starting our country upon new career
of prosperity" These are honest words,
and the men that utter such words when
they are visiting here, under the influence
of hospitality, talk the same way when
they are at home and the occasion
rises. The Northern men who 60 South
will all vouch for this; it is only the poll
ticians who lie about it.

Why Speaker Webster Puts Original

[From Webster's Weekly

Our shears are sadly in need of sharpen
ing. The rivet is loose, and when we try
to clip an article they wobble through the
paper like turkey gobbler with sun
stroke, and CRATE with an unearthly sound.
The process of cutting has become so dis
agreeable that we have been putting in
more original matter of late.

A PORTRAIT.

She thinks so much of worldly show
That, should an angel call her to
Arise unto the skies,
A long white robe she'd quickly don
And buy harp to play upon,
Then pay call to every friend
And tell them all to watch her wend
Her way to paradise.
